He needs to step up his coaching, can't blame it all on the players! Some terrible play calling out there. He should be careful, his job might be on the line...

Lol no, Panthers won't get rid of a coach who inherited a 2-14 team with injuries. He has also doubled our win total from last year.

nope. and it didn't yesterday either when he said it and everyone started talking about it.

i've felt all along that he would be doing this. so far its been about learning what we need and what the guys we have in house can do and how we can make it work.

it's also been about seeing who wants it or not.

everything that should have been done given a full offseason they are doing now.

we are finding holes that need to be filled. if you aren't giving it everything you've got now or you just aren't playing up the the level you should be, then you're going to be shown the door and replaced with someone who can/will be what we want and need.

btw...i seriously doubt that this was the first the team had heard this. i'm sure they were called out in team meetings already.

Once Cam has a full off season to learn his craft, and our defense is back healthy with some added pieces, the Panthers should take over the league.

Cam going to be a problem next year once he gets a offseason and better at ready defenses

I swear I think about drafting Blackmon so he can rain down terror and thunder on everybody. We wont even need a defense

Rivera said his coaches and himself were being evaluated. He said he has gone back and reviewed his performance.....said he has seen things he needs to change.

All Rivera needs is 1 actual offseason, a healthy D, and a couple moves. Dude will be AWESOME.

Really hard to argue against that logic...

Imagine coming out in 4 wides... Smitty, Blackmon, Gettis, and LaFell...

EEEEWWWWW!!!

With all that said, it'd be hard to imagine anything other than a 100% Defensive draft... Outside of maybe 1 OL

      This makes too much sense not to happen.

      I'm not expecting it to happen, but we definitely need an upgrade at LB.  He fits the bill for sure

      No, you're just flat out not comprehending what is going on, because if it was really how you think, more than only the first 2 players taken in the round would be signed right now.  Enough teams would just say screw it, it's not worth fighting with the agent over such a relatively low guaranteed cap hit. Your point about teams being afraid of spending that draft capital and not getting the player signed is also just asinine on the surface.  Because yes, the teams want to make sure the draft capital they used is on the field for them, but 2nd rounders fail more than they succeed in general.   If one holds out to try and re-enter the draft after a year off of football, they're tanking their career before it ever gets started and will fall further in that draft too.  Teams expect their 1st rounders to pan out, but they just hope their 2nd rounders do, it's why the pressure is on the team to sign a 1st rounder, but it's why the players have so much more to lose by holding out than the teams do for anyone after the 1st round. It's 100% about precedent, that's literally the only thing driving this right now, on both sides.  Again, if half the teams had signed them, or even a third of them, you might have a leg to stand on. But it's clear this has nothing to do with agent/team leverage at this point, it's about both sides trying to set a new precedent for contracts, and I don't see the agents winning this one on the whole.  Maybe a few more end up getting it, but I'd bet at least 20 of the 2nd round picks do NOT get a fully guaranteed contract.
